The ABB DSQC668 (Order Code: 3HAC029157-001/06) is a high-performance axis computer board exclusively engineered for ABB’s IRC5 robot controllers, serving as a core component in the robot’s motion control architecture. It specializes in processing multi-axis coordination commands, calculating precise motor trajectories, and managing logic interactions between the robot and peripheral equipment (e.g., conveyors, sensors). By enabling real-time synchronization of up to 6 robot axes, this module ensures the smooth, accurate movement critical for high-precision industrial automation tasks, making it indispensable for IRC5-based robot systems in manufacturing and assembly environments.
- Delivers real-time trajectory planning for up to 6 axes, with positioning accuracy of ±0.05mm (depending on robot model) and path repeatability of ±0.02mm. This ensures consistent performance in tasks requiring tight tolerances, such as automotive body welding, electronics component assembly, and precision material handling.
- Integrates advanced motion control algorithms (e.g., spline interpolation) to smooth axis movements, reducing mechanical stress on robot joints and extending the lifespan of motors and gearboxes.
- Designed as a native component of the IRC5 controller, it plug-and-plays into the dedicated axis board slot without additional wiring or configuration. This eliminates compatibility issues and ensures full synchronization with the controller’s main processor, safety systems, and programming software (RobotStudio).
- Communicates via ABB’s RCN bus, enabling high-speed data transfer (up to 100Mbps) between the axis board and main controller—critical for time-sensitive motion commands and status feedback.
- Conformal coating on the printed circuit board (PCB) protects against environmental contaminants (e.g., dust, oil mist) that may enter the IRC5 controller enclosure, ensuring stable operation in factory floor conditions.
- Industrial-grade components (e.g., high-reliability capacitors, rugged connectors) and thermal management design (heat dissipation via controller airflow) support continuous 24/7 operation, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of ≥15,000 hours.
- Embedded self-test functions run at controller startup to verify axis board health, including power supply, communication links, and processing unit status. Fault codes are transmitted to the IRC5 controller and displayed on the teach pendant for quick troubleshooting.
- Integrates with the IRC5’s safety system to monitor axis motion limits (e.g., joint overtravel) and trigger emergency stops if anomalies are detected, complying with EN ISO 10218-1 safety standards for industrial robots.
